Sinossi

Out-Of-Pocket Burdens explores the critical issue of healthcare financing in countries where robust health coverage is lacking. The book focuses on financial risk protection—how well healthcare systems shield individuals from catastrophic health expenditures—and the prevalence of informal payments, which are unregulated out-of-pocket payments to healthcare providers. The absence of adequate coverage disproportionately affects vulnerable populations, exacerbating inequalities and hindering access to essential medical services. The book argues that weak public health systems and limited insurance coverage expose individuals to substantial financial risks. Reliance on out-of-pocket payments and the prevalence of informal payments create significant burdens on households, potentially pushing them into poverty and hindering access to necessary treatments. For example, families may forgo essential medical care to avoid financial ruin, illustrating the trade-offs individuals face. Starting with core concepts, the book investigates the determinants and consequences of out-of-pocket spending, then concludes with policy recommendations for strengthening financial risk protection and reducing reliance on informal payments, emphasizing universal health coverage. Drawing evidence from household surveys and healthcare expenditure data, particularly from low- and middle-income countries, Out-Of-Pocket Burdens offers valuable insights for policymakers, healthcare professionals, and researchers interested in health economics and public health.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"The Other Black Girl" by Zakiya Dalila Harris follows Nella, a young Black editorial assistant at a predominantly white publishing house, Wagner Books.

She discovers that she is being monitored, along with other Black women at the company, by her boss, Richard, and her seemingly supportive colleague, Hazel. The narrative explores themes of tokenism, code-switching, and the commodification of the Black voice. Nella's experiences lead her to question the true motives of her coworkers, and the nature of her own goals. The story delves into the complex dynamics of workplace politics and the struggle for authenticity in a system that seeks to control and limit diverse voices.

Navigating Life with Dementia

MD James M. Noble

Caregiving for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease or dementia is hard but with this book, you and your family will successfully face the challenges that these diseases present. 
 
Dementia is a very common neurological disease of aging affecting millions of people in complex ways. There are multiple forms of the dementia, including Alzheimer's Disease, Lewy Body Dementia, Frontotemporal Dementia, and vascular dementia, among others, and many share features of slowly progressive and profound changes affecting memory, thinking, behavior, and personality. The disease often introduces personal and even financial strains, which can be at times hard to understand. Unfortunately, most forms of dementia have no definitive treatments to prevent, slow, or stop the progression, but there is a concerted effort in the scientific community to change this. There is a consistent hope that there will soon be a new era of scientific breakthroughs impacting dementia. Now, and in the future, patients with dementia, their friends, and their families need resources to successfully face the challenges introduced by the disease.Navigating Life with Dementia thoroughly covers the complexities of the dementias, the establishment of a diagnosis, what to expect throughout the stages of disease, and how to best anticipate and manage common problems.
